"British Internet consultancy Netcraft has posted the results
from its March 2000 Secure Server Survey, and the open source
Apache Web server came out on top -- again. Apache usage grew by 21
percent in just one month, grabbing an additional 2 percent of the
Web server market. Apache now holds 60 percent of the market, more
than the total market share of all other Web servers combined. "A 2
percent increase is really significant," says Netcraft director
John Prettejohn. By contrast, Microsoft Internet Information Server
(IIS), which posted a 12 percent gain, lost nearly 1 percent of its
market share. It now holds 21 percent of the market. The Netscape
Enterprise server ranked a distant third, losing nearly half a
market share point."
